226: Nutrition Training for Healthcare Providers: Bridging the Gap
Host: Dr. Ali Novitsky
Welcome to another exciting episode of the Muscles & Mindset Podcast! Dr. Ali Novitsky is thrilled to dive into a topic that is both her passion and profession: nutrition. This episode is particularly special as it focuses on bridging the gap in nutrition knowledge for healthcare providers.
Introduction
Dr. Novitsky begins the episode by sharing a bit about her background and lifelong fascination with nutrition. From a young age, she was deeply interested in how food and exercise impact our bodies. This passion led her to accumulate a vast library of nutrition books and spend weekends discussing diets at GNC. Her journey has been shaped by personal experiences, including being an overweight child, which fueled her interest in nutrition and exercise.
The Importance of Nutrition in Healthcare
She discusses the critical role nutrition plays in both preventing and treating diseases. Despite its importance, traditional medical training often lacks comprehensive nutrition education, leaving many healthcare providers feeling unprepared to offer nutritional advice to their patients. Dr. Novitsky emphasizes that while doctors are trained to save lives, they are not typically trained to be nutrition experts.
Unique Approach
Over the years, she has developed a unique approach to nutrition, which she calls "Mindful Macros." This program is designed to make nutrition simple and effective. Dr. Novitsky believes that understanding and implementing basic nutrition strategies can save lives and aims to empower healthcare providers with the knowledge and tools needed to offer sound nutritional advice to their patients.
Introducing the Eight Week Nutition Training Program
She is excited to announce a new eight-week training program specifically designed for healthcare providers. This program will cover everything she has learned and implemented in her coaching programs over the past several decades. The training will be live, offering participants the opportunity to interact with her and ask questions. Additionally, esteemed colleagues like Dr. Matthea Rentea will contribute her expertise, particularly in areas like obesity medicine and post-bariatric care.
Overcoming Obstacles
Dr. Novitsky addresses several obstacles that healthcare providers face when it comes to nutrition:
- Lack of Training: Most medical schools do not offer extensive nutrition education.
- Time Constraints: Healthcare providers are often too busy to prioritize their own nutrition, let alone advise patients.
- Simplifying: The plethora of nutrition strategies out there can be overwhelming and at times, contradictory.
She assures listeners that her program is designed to make nutrition advice simple and actionable, even for the busiest healthcare providers.
Program Details
The eight-week program will officially start on October 7th, but early enrollees will gain immediate access to bonus content, including the emotional eating and body composition training series. Participants will also receive a comprehensive provider nutrition training manual and a nutrition audit guide, making it easy to implement these strategies in their practice.
Conclusion
Dr. Novitsky wraps up the episode by encouraging healthcare providers to sign up for the program. She believes that by bridging the gap in nutrition knowledge, a significant impact can be made on public health. The program offers 12 CMEs for physicians and provides year-long access to all content.
